which fighter in history, H2H would you pick

Tarver? btw, what's H2H?

 

at light heavy-ezzard charles

at super middle-gerald mcclellan

at middle-sam langford, monzon, hagler

 

Bob Foster

 

i thought about it but i honestly don't think he had the mobility needed to catch jones. he had a brilliant jab and was likely the most powerful punching light heavy ever but too stationary for jones.

 

Which is why Spinks would have got the job done instead. Very mobile for a 6'2 Light Heavyweight who hit hard enough to not only knock Jones dead, but a great deal of Light Heavys in history. His awkward delivery is best defended against by a classic boxer with his hands up high rather than someone using his reflexes. Far to unpredictable, Spinks will land and Jones would be shut down.

Michael Spinks KO9.

 

have to agree. along with charles, who despite being "conventional" at light heavy is probably the greatest at that weight ever, spinks had the best chance to take him out

glad we haven't heard from rico yet-"a stiff breeze takes out china chin jones..." :-(

 

At first, I didn't know what you meant by h2h...I was gonna say Tarver, because I think he had Roy's number, regardless of if Roy was in his prime or not. But Roy did win the first fight because Tarver couldn't **** with him in the middle of the ring, so come to think of it...maybe he would have thoroughly beat Tarver in his prime...that's a whole other debate, though.

I don't like comparing old fighters to these present day fighters, because the fighters of today have better nutrition, better training, and better techniques, so none of the old fighters others mentioned could beat Jones h2h in his prime. This is tough...I'd have to think on this one.

 

i don't think jones could make minimum weight:tong

 

Duran would knock him out cold

 

:nonoi'm a HUGE duran fan but...i respectfully disagree

 

A prime RJJ is a nightmare for pretty much anyone in the history of the sport. World class speed, combos, reflexes, footwork, footspeed, power. He was a terror in his prime. I would pick very few fighters H2H over him.

 

Charles
Foster
Spinks
Saad would also give him hell and maybe even beat him.
